[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1148985, member: 176704"] [USER=418659]@gdf68[/USER] FWIW, I often sprayed the scales and the adjustment nuts with white spray paint so that everything was more visible and minor adjustments more easily assessed as I could then mark critical positions with a black marker - also when spray painted over a plate that was to be moved slightly then that movement could then be more easily seen. OTOH, that didn't make the actual movement any more easy to control:rolleyes: PS to at least one of your photos - would probably be a good idea to use toothed lock washers under adjustment nuts to try to prevent changes due the heating/cooling (thus leading to expansion/contraction) effects of sunlight on the U-bolts and nuts.
